Permanently vanquished in the eyes of all

Now i know whats probably on your mind as a reader, that oops here she comes again, she probably ate rice and can’t keep shut or its the santi, the rice was talking it possessed me “but no! ” in my beyoncé voice, it was just as inspiration goes, so without further a do, can you guess i have been watching nach baliye and i don’t care whether its divek or ishima and vivek but i want them to win.

rice rice rice oh what have you done to man on earth

you so plain looking yet exquisite

savoury and sweet as in pudding or salty and fried as in naasi goreng

even while bare you roar up a fight

from the commoners to the rich you are best to all

with the best stir fry you create a tamashah ( ruckus )

with the least of ketchups you make ears roll

to the hungry stomach you are music

jollof rice na you ; nations are at twitter wars for you

fried chicken is your icing on the cake

maggi is the sugar in your tea

pepper is the key to your flavour

tomato is the door to your beauty

sorry for the interruption in the book please a round of applause for rice, thank you, now for the loverrs of rice, just think about the best rice you have had in a while, now use the brain cells you have left after all that sweet memory to give rice a huge round of applause.

see the thing is,

life will always have challenges whether you sleep beneath a tree or in the loftiest palace,

whether you have a car or not,

it cares not about how ugly or pretty you are

as they say the grass is not always greener on the other side

you may look and envy them

but you did not see what they hid behind their smiles

you saw but the glitz during the day

nor the tears that cuddle them to sleep

or the pills that give them peace

you highlighted the darkness in yours against the brightness in theirs

had you compared your dark to their dark

jealousy would be a foreign word

envy a forgotten feeling

I just know someone pointed out that it is on ENVY AND JEALOUSY NOT ANGER AND FRUSTRATION bilkul corrrect , though it was intentional , just see the irony in it yaar, these two feelings can sometimes be intertwined.

I will post on the opposite next week insha Allah , now without further a do , to get access to the other posts on the ON SERIES , just click on the #Theonseries

About me

Hello there,
I'm 19, introvert and sickle cell anaemic warrior, i think there is always hope in any situation and i am infinitely optimistic. My blog is all about poetry , occasional seasonings of cuisine and random rants on personal oblivion.
Multi lingual and confused as well so bear with me, some statements just sound better or make most sense in their native language, {you have probably guessed I'm a TCK, a third culture kid}, explains the awkwardness.
i am a biology major, so yes chordates, invertebrates and all that scientific brouhaha, feel free to discuss all things book with me, from romance novels, sherlock holmes adventures to rikkard ambrose, be it Rumi with the beautiful soul or IB organic chemistry, and Allah said let there be hydro carbons and boom( methane, tert-butyl) etc my favourite phenylalanine and sphincter of oddi , physiology or physics. Basically all things NERD AND BOOK WORM.
